You know, an animal is a “non-human biologic”.

Representative Mace posed the question to David Grusch, “Do we have the bodies of the pilots who piloted this craft?” I don’t think it’s a leap in logic to assume they aren’t discussing “animals” in the traditional sense—that is, an animal you or I would think of, like a dog, cat, monkey, etc. This is especially true since every publicly known animal in the animal kingdom, humans excepted, lacks the ability to pilot a craft.

If your argument is that they’re referring to an animal not publicly recorded in the animal kingdom—a sentient being—then we are in agreement.
